    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
